Vehicle Fit
Listed for the driver or passenger seat of 1972-1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 models.
Choosing a Color
Pick from 52 colors, 13 premium.
Why Upgrade?
Front belts in a FJ40 live a hard life, exposed to sun through an open top, rain, dust and mud. Originals often fade, fray and stop retracting smoothly. A new three-point belt restores a proper restraint for the driver or passenger and suits trucks that are now driven on the highway as often as on the trail.
Maintenance
Rinse off trail grit and let the belt dry before retracting.
About the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40
Toyota's FJ40 Land Cruiser was built from 1960 into the eighties and earned a worldwide reputation for toughness, from African safaris to Australian outback stations. In North America it was sold as a soft top, hardtop and pickup, and its simple inline-six and solid axles made it a favorite with off-roaders. Values for clean examples have climbed sharply in recent years.
Before You Install
Inspect the floor and upper anchors on that side.
Good to Know
Hardware included.
Seatbelt Planet lists this FJ40 belt as meeting FMVSS 209 and 302 and includes the mounting hardware.
The FJ40 was built from 1960 into the eighties and became a global symbol of off-road toughness, with soft-top, hardtop and pickup versions.
Shoulder restraint on a reel makes sense for an FJ40 that splits its time between highway and trail.
Locate the FJ40 floor anchor and the upper mount on the tub or roll bar, and clean both.
Open-top FJ40s expose belts to sun, rain and dust, so park under a top or cover when possible and rinse the webbing after muddy trips.
Order one belt per seat; matching colors on both sides gives the cab a tidy, uniform look.
Later 1979-1984 FJ40s use a separate front belt listing, so confirm your model year before ordering.
FJ40 values have climbed steadily, and restorers pay close attention to interior details like seat belts.
The retractor keeps the strap off the floor and away from the shifter and transfer case levers.
Pick a webbing color that suits the seat vinyl, whether original tan, black or a custom shade.
Fresh belts are one of the simplest ways to make a Land Cruiser cabin feel new.
A fresh belt on the driver side is often the first interior job on a newly purchased FJ40, and it gives a good sense of how much better the truck can feel.
